Make SBDHBuilder#finishFields is public so it can be used directly

[kukel]

SBDHBuilder#finishFields is protected but it is required when you want to process a already populated SBDH document. Since there is no real other reason to extend Phase4PeppolSender, making this public would be a nice thing to have.

Well, I was looking at it and I am not conviced yet.
As the finishFields is called internally from AbstractAS4MessageBuilder.sendMessage, I don't see the reason why I should make this public. Can you please elaborate on the specific use case?

You can still derive from class SBDHBuilder and extend the visibility of finishFields yourself. But I really miss the reason why someone from the outside would call this....

[kukel]

Because it failed sending if I did not explicitly call it. Will try to create a unit test to show.

[phax]

That is weird. That is done explicitly in a base class. Are you overriding some classes and not calling the supermethod?

[kukel]

Nope, working on a MainPhase4PeppolHelgerSBDH now ;-)... Few minutes

Took some time, our Test SMP underwent some unexpected maintenance. This issue is semi valid.

When I use .payload(bytes[]), which I did, it fails and the .finishFields() is/seems needed (and some more). Using .payloadAndMetadata(PeppolSBDHDocument) and marshalling the bytes/inputstream to PeppolSBDHDocument first.

But this could be optimized I think since it is then made into bytes again. Why not pass on the bytes and in .payload(bytes[]) marshall for the meta data AND set the bytes. Saves a relatively expensive operation.
